    30s England style haircut - how to describe to and receive from modern barber

    Man, that diagram is just great. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to describe that haircut only to get blank looks. Now, all I've got to do is find someone willing to do it. Cheers and lotso thanks.

    Vintage Concealed Weapons

    Thanks to mod and other posters for keeping this on track. I've mostly given up on the firearms display board 'cause they haven't managed to do that over there. I come here for refuge. If I want controversy all I have to do is open a newspaper. Vintage, vintage, vintage.;)

    1920s and 1930s-style leather jackets

    Deepest condolences Dave. And, I think that first jacket in the op is absolutely smashing. Truly the best looking leather I've ever seen.

    Sleeping caps

    How very interesting, I was just thinking about this this morning. I guess the point, as was said, was to keep one's head warm in cold homes. When camping in really cold weather over the years I used a toque (stocking cap for you yanks) as it was absolutely necessary. Entirely by coincidence...

    What we have to put up with!

    This fool's ramblings remind me of two things: Why I quit the newspaper business and "When you point the finger, three are pointing back."

    The Moustache

    Nick, I have a serious need for one of those. My moustachios are like a strainer every time I take a sip of anything. After my morning six or seven cups of tea my napkin needs wringing out!lol I too would like to find an antique in nice china. My dear old Mother almost bought me one when she...

    Legras Art Nouveau vase

    Truly lovely stuff, Guys. I'm crazy for AN and the Pre-Raph and Arts and Crafts stuff that to me are part of a whole. A lot of it gives me the same lift and spiritual sense of beautiful natural vistas. Seems to me we've lost a lot of our sense of belonging to nature that these movements...

    Let's see them Kerosene lamps!

    That is a GREAT tip James, thanks a lot. I will write that down in my compendium of arcana for future reference. I've learned a lot hanging around this place.:eusa_clap

    First Aid Proceedures & Kits Vintage Vs New

    When I was a kid in Texas, the most commonly carried first aid 'kit' was a Cutter snake bite kit. Two rubber suction things with a sharp little knife, some sort of antiseptic and a tourniquet. You were meant to strap up, cut, and suck. Then walk out for help. I don't think they do it that way...

    Let's see them Kerosene lamps!

    I have two original Dietz Comets which they stopped making in the '30's if memory serves. They are tiny little things, built for trips to the outhouse and such. Unlike the modern ones they, aside from heavier gauge steel and nice attention to detail, have the Dietz logo and the word 'Comet'...

    Let's see them Kerosene lamps!

    Good tips James, unfortunately I don't have that lantern anymore, it was a modern Deitz, or I'd check your info. Will sure bear it in mind for the future however. Mike, the current Dietz lanterns are made in China and have been for lotso years now. They are not the same quality as the old...

    Belstaff on the 'bay?

    I'd be happy with that bag. Very nice.

    Let's see them Kerosene lamps!

    Me too Morris, I'd like to see a pic of it burning if possible. I had a Dietz hot blast once and could never get it to burn right, no matter how I trimmed the wick. All my cold blasts burn with a nice even tongue of flame, but the hb would never do that for me.
